Hot-PrefTed Bible,
Which they believe to be the moll beautiful production or
of its nature, hitherto seen. an
Similar works in Europe have for some years been li
berally patronized—they have had an honorable place m pr
the libraries of men of taste—the present production is an -
attempt to (how, that in America, works c*N*be executed
in every refpeit equal t* the efforts of transatlantic genius.-
From the warm approbation that has been bestowed on it
by some of the firll characters, the proprietors are war- to
ranted in faying, they have been fuccefsful.
It claims patronage as being wholly American'—the pa-
per, by far the bed ever used here, in printing, is made
within a few miles of this city—the types, which arttru-
ly beautiful, are also American—and the whole, apparatus
tor hot prefiirig, has been procured from different parts-os
the Union : It is also the CH«*resT HOT-PRBSSED Jf|

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE object of the prepofed work, is, to prrfent to
public .view a connected series oi the chief events of a 11
per-od of American hiitoiy, that does not yield, in im
portance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful j e
annals of any country in the world. lc
Desiring to exefite no expeSations but such as he (hall
endeavour to fa isfy, the writer is thus early in announ- '■
cing, that the body and confiitense of a regular history,
, is not to be looked for, in this wprk: neither his talents
nor Iris avqeations allow him to hope for this. His hum- t(
bier talk (hall be to (ketch out -the mod prominent sea- *-
tures. It (hall be his study to colleit and arrange the *
mod interesting materials—to smooth the rugged path—
for 4bler haiids, who, by such mean*, will find their la
bours abridged, and their progress accelerated. *j
His chief view will be, to give the History of the Uoi
: ted States as a confederated Republic. Neverthelefe, no- 11
tice will be taken of the moll remarWhle cirttrnftaocesin i
the history of the individual States, as far as they can be s
r collected. This information (hall be clafled under sepa
rate appendixes.
The Anthor solicits the afEftr.nce of such Gentlemen
as may be possessed of documents calculated t» "promote
. the execution of his plan. They (hall be received wich
„ due gratitude—carefully preferved—,arid fafely returned.
